(CS/mim) Luxembourg City's municipal council has approved plans for a new skatepark in the Pétrusse valley, which is set to open its doors in October 2015.

The skatepark comes with a price tag of 1,445,000 euros and will include a street parcours and a concrete skate bowl, as well as a terrace and benches.

Construction is expected to begin next spring and the skatepark should be ready by October 2015.

Additionally, the council decided that flats foreseen in the new Royal Hamilius development could not be converted into office space, but would have to remain as living space.

Finally, around 3.3 million euros were approved for the renewal of underground water supply pipes, power lines and the road surface in Rue Sigefroid, in line with renovations currently taking place across the City.

With road works in the capital ongoing for months, especially in the Rue Notre Dame and Rue du Fossé, the City of Luxembourg is looking into ways to speed up construction, following requests by local shopkeepers and business owners.

However, this would lead to a substantial increase in noise pollution.

The mayor is planning an information meeting to discuss the issue with local residents and entrepreneurs.
